My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jabari is a sweet older gentleman looking to retire from his life on the streets. He's a very talkative dude, with a raspy voice that will remind you of many of the old-heads you know from the block.. He still enjoys a good came of catch with a wand toy, but if he had his way, you'd be petting him 24/7/365. He's outgoing and social, and just a great, fun, funny guy.

Jabari is FIV positive and FeLV negative. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is a lentivirus that affects cats around the world. Being FIV+ does not mean that the cat is sick, only that his immunity to fighting off disease is lower. FIV is not contagious to humans or other species and, while contagious among cats, it is difficult to transmit (typically through deep bite.) Jabari is a healthy guy and does not require any special care beyond what is best for all cats – a healthy diet, staying indoors, and routine checkups. FIV positive cats can live long, healthy lives similar to other cats.

Jabari is neutered and up-to-date on shots. Email taaaaarynx3@aol.com to apply!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All cats and kittens are vaccinated and tested for FELV (feline leukemia) and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus), and if old enough, are neutered or spayed.
We will ask you some questions about your home and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Adopting a pet is a long-term commitment. We ask you to sign the KittyKind Adoption Agreement.
We will always take a cat back FOR ANY REASON. We will also work with you to place her in another good home if (after a period of adjustment) the adoption doesn't work out.
We do ask for a $125 adoption fee to help cover some of our food and veterinary expenses. For certain purebred cats (Siamese, Persian, Maine Coon, etc.), we request a $150 - $300 adoption fee.

Go meet their pets

More about this rescue

KittyKind is a New York City not-for-profit, no-kill, all-volunteer cat rescue and adoption group. All of us at KittyKind have opened our hearts and homes — and emptied our pockets — to save thousands of cats from neglect or abuse. Every cat we rescue is given food, shelter, medical care, a safe place to lay his or her head and most importantly of all, a reason to purr. We do not believe in rescuing a cat or kitten only to euthanize it if it has a broken leg or needs extended nursing care. We never give up if there is a chance of saving them. We take responsibility for each and every life we save and if a cat or kitten is unadoptable, they have a home with us for life.
We believe that animals are not property to be discarded, disposed of, or killed just for the crime of being homeless or unwanted. We believe that people should be friends, caretakers and protectors of animals. We believe that we must take responsibility for the life of every animal we rescue who through no fault of their own, is abandoned, sick, disabled, old or unable to care for themselves. We are dedicated to relieving their suffering, providing food, shelter, medical care and comfort until we can place them in a safe and loving home.
